I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Buffy ,'End of Days'


Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Only in the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie, msbelle.

Man, I hate that 12 Days song, but I realize this is my issue, so I'll hush.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So this would be a bad time to repost the Buffista version?

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Leaping ahead to say if the next Angel thread isn't called they talk about me in chatty rooms? I'm never talking to y'all again.

What about the next Bitch's thread? Can we use "My Sire Can Beat Up Your Sire"?

Yes, I love the line, sue me.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I was hoping we could Use "Got Funding."

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's how it is in the transcript.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

My transcript has

I'm not stealing. I-I'm just taking things without paying for th... (pauses) In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?

I didn't hear the swallowed letters or the pause in the episode. I think the transcriber filled that in, but I can't check against a tape.

I vote for no Tolkien-themed thread titles EVER. (But I may be in the minority there.)

I say, Tyler, you're thinking of vampires.

So this would be a bad time to repost the Buffista version?

There's a buffistafication of Lord of the Rings? Where?!
